  Although 70 million of deaf people use sign language as their mother tongue, not everyone knows it, so communication is still a challenge.

  Now, a team of entrepreneurs, all deaf, has come up with a tablet case called Uni that can translate sign language into text displayed on the tablet, bridging the gap between deaf and hearing.

  Up MotionSavvy led the development of translation software that powered the Uni tablet case.

  Designed for Dell Venue 8 Pro tablets, this tablet retails for about $320 (£200)

  Identify the software interpretation symbols and match them with the symbol database to translate them into the correct words.

  Whenever someone signs, Uni\'s software remembers their actions and improves their translation.

  Learning the user\'s personal signature style will become smarter.

  The tool also allows ASL users to add their own symbols saved to the dictionary.

  Their manual work is actually displayed on the screen.

  Users can see if the software misunderstood their logo.

  Uni also uses a microphone to detect voice and display it on the screen of the tablet for deaf people to read, which can be useful in situations where lip reading is difficult.

  Entrepreneurs from the Rochester Institute of Technology for the National Deaf are raising money on Indiegogo to put their equipment into production.

  Uni available for pre-Order for $198 (£124).

  Shipment is expected in September 2015. A $20-a-
